Subject: Re: [Astro_IIDC] More solar images from the weekend
Hi Folks;
As last follow up, here is my "suggested" selection areas for doing MAP on Jims' Sun images:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Astro_IIDC/files/Other/SuggestedSelectionAreasForJimsSun.jpg
I am assuming that turbulence won't morph things too badly between frames and that your using a ""Allow up to xxxx.x variance per pixel when matching pixel areas." of about 8 or 9.0. You can't judge this setting without seeing the actual video played back frame by frame.
To give it a bit more edge "bite" , I also check marked
"Sharpen the frames used for pixel alignment"
when stacking and I would use a 64x64 selection area because the features in the image are pretty coarse. For selecting sharpest images, you'd likely get best result using a medium spacing for "when estimating sharpness" pop up menu too.
HTH..
